'Spiritual but not religious' - how smug is that?

Posted Thu, Sep 15, 12:49 p.m.

Wow, I definitely would not want to be seated next to Reverend Lil holding her hand and saying prayers in my last moments!

In (faint) praise of Comcast: the new iPhone/iPad app

Posted Fri, Dec 3, 2:45 p.m.

I've been trying to get it to work myself. Could you please share what you discovered about how to log-in, etc?

One Dish: Is a six-ounce steak worth $100?

Posted Tue, Feb 9, 3:01 p.m.

Yummy job, Ronald. Were you paid for this?!!

The pro-gay, anti-Eyman vote

Posted Thu, Nov 5, 1:56 p.m.

I don't think you can demonize Tim Eyman too much. He needs to get an honest job. His initiatives do harm to the poor and those who cannot defend themselves. If he wants to be involved in politics he should run for office, but of course he knows that he ...

Sammamish is a city? Who knew?

Is it okay for us to rejoin the nation?

Posted Thu, Feb 12, 1:33 p.m.

Wow, who let these misfits writing the comments in? It's probably the same person, at least 2 of them are.

The suburban road for reviving local Republicans

Posted Wed, Dec 17, 2:15 p.m.

Chris was right about one thing, the propensity for the state GOP to run unqualified people. We could go back to Rick White and Randy Tate, guys who apparently didn't have a job before they ran for Congress. I would put Rossi there, too. We kept hearing about what a ...

The Washington GOP: RIP?

Posted Wed, Nov 19, 2:48 p.m.

WMD, you keep saying that the 2004 election was stolen in the mistaken belief that eventually it will become true. An Eastern Washington Republican judge ruled that there was no truth to it. Of course you already know that. You might actually have some facts on your side, but if ...

Death by a thousand (paper) cuts

Posted Wed, Aug 20, 3:15 p.m.

RE: Noodling: Well, the answer is they aren't really in the media business, they are in the business of selling products and turning them over as fast as they can. It's a real shame what has happened in the book and magazine business. If you really want to make a ...

Seattle's top political blogs: Don't call them rivals

Posted Mon, Aug 11, 11:01 a.m.

RE: Goldstein's support will cost Burner another election.: Well, yes, of course I would, but since Burner is running for Congress,not governor, I kind of doubt she would have a position for him that he would want.

Sidewalk crack addict

Posted Wed, Aug 6, 10:23 a.m.

In Italy they do: Say what you will, but I was in Tuscany a few years back. We came to a fork in the road and the signs in both directions read "Roma." In this case all roads did lead to Rome.

The animal-waste problem is, and is not, a load of crap

Posted Tue, Jun 10, 12:05 p.m.

What are we going to do when we can't use plastic bags?: I've often wondered what will happen when plastic bags, especially those the newspapers come in, aren't allowed anymore? I also would be curious as to how much of the waste in public garbage cans, such as at parks, ...

Perhaps Oklahoma City would also be interested in a baseball team

Posted Tue, May 13, 1:54 p.m.

Don't even joke about it!: I wouldn't put it past Clay Bennett. And before you say what a nice guy McClendon is, don't forget he was a financier of the Swiftboat ads.

Comcast's high-definition baseball asterisk

Posted Tue, May 13, 1:51 p.m.

Thank you!: Who would want to watch the last half of a movie instead of the 10th inning anyway? Thanks for fixing it, Comcast.

Annals of Northwest secession

and don't forget Cedar County: Cedar County is eastern King County's attempt to break away and start their own county.

Word is Rep. Helen Sommers might retire, and she's not commenting

Posted Fri, Dec 14, 10:07 a.m.

RE: Perhaps we Seattle-ites can be lucky enough to get a LOT of retirements: Sour grapes from somebody who obviously doesn't live in our district. I know a lot of people who are not in the 36th District would like to see our veteran legislators (Jean Kohl-Welles and Sommers) leave, ...

It's the end for the Last Exit

Posted Fri, Sep 28, 2:21 p.m.

A sober alternative to the Blue Moon: I was mostly hanging out at the Blue Moon in those days, but one time I was visited by the late Max Scherr, publisher of the Berkeley Barb, and he practically lived at the Last Exit. I got a taste of what coffeehouse ...

The Richie Sexson problem

Posted Thu, Jul 19, 2:32 p.m.

If we traded him, guess what will happen next?: Yeah, if we trade Sexson and then all of a sudden he hits 40 home runs for another team, how would we feel? There have just been too many players throughout the years that we have gotten rid of and then ...
